MAP Construction
Design Management
Management of design production on major projects — deliverable schedules, interfaces and approvals run to the construction programme, not alongside it.
The capability
Design is rarely late in one dramatic moment. It slips a deliverable at a time, until procurement stalls, the site is building from preliminary information and nobody can say when certainty arrives.
MAP design managers run the design programme as a delivery programme. Deliverable schedules tied to procurement and construction need dates. Design responsibility matrices that leave no scope orphaned between designers, contractors and specialist suppliers. Information exchanged on a managed cycle, with the status of every deliverable — and the consequence of every slippage — visible to the people planning the works.
The other half of the job is decision flow. Our consultants manage approval and comment cycles so reviews conclude rather than circulate, chase the client decisions that gate design progress, and put design change through the same control as any other change — priced, programmed and approved before it lands in the models.
How MAP delivers it
Design management support runs from a single package to leadership of the whole design programme.
Design programme and deliverables
Deliverable schedules built backward from procurement and construction dates, statused with the same rigour as the site programme.
Responsibility and interfaces
Design responsibility matrices and interface schedules that make every boundary between designers, contractors and suppliers explicit and owned.
Approvals and comment cycles
Managed submission, review and comment processes with defined turnaround, so approval status is always known and reviews reach conclusions.
Design change control
Design change assessed for cost, programme and interface impact and formally approved before models and drawings move.
